Indeed, and we are not nearly there yet. We have here in Raleigh a much
celebrated "green" renovation that completely ignored the historic
character of the former Esso station, with its stucco walls and terra
cotta tile "mansard" roof detailing. Now it's a multi-colored thing with
steel channel beams over the fenestration openings with no terra cotta
roof edging that has plants growing on the roof and a brewery kettle in
the parking lot for roof water runoff.

More merging required.
We need Vulcan Mind Meld. It will save us centuries of groping if we can
just teleport to the future now.
